Week 7 Assignment # 5 Student Assessment


Student information: 2nd grade Male reading at a 2nd grade level

Print awareness:(for this assessment I used Reading Rescue which is a program my school use.)

I had the student identify the front, back, and title of the book. He was able to identify all three correctly. Then, I asked the student to identify a letter, a word, where should you begin reading, the first word of a sentence, and last word of a sentence, a punctuation mark, lower and uppercase letters. The student was able to identify everything I asked him for correctly. From this assessment, I concluded that this child has a very good idea about print awareness.

Phonological and Phonemic Awareness:

This assessment was broken up into different days and time, I continued to work with the same second grader. I started him off with a language comprehension activity where he used a pointer to count words in a sentence. This  activity appeared very easy for him. Next, I transitioned into Phonological Awareness activities where he worked on counting syllables, segmenting and blending syllables. My student did very well with each component so I decided to stop him there for the day. The next day I went straight to Phonemic Awareness activities where he completed segmenting and blending sounds, I believed he enjoyed using the boxes to represent the sounds and letters because he had never used them before. He was accustomed to using his fingers and his arms. I found this website and thought it would be good to help with all aspect of Phonemic Awareness. https://sightwords.com/phonemic-awareness/rhyming/rhyming-songs-poems/

Phonics:

For this part of the assessment, I had the student work on blending beginning sounds or  digraphs (ch, sh, th, wh, and ck). Then we transitioned to working with compound words (Lap/ top, back/ pack, bed/room, work/ book and Bath/ tub), suffix (ly, ness, less, ful, ment, and tion) and prefixes (mis, pre, un, re,ex, and un).  My  student had fun with these because he claims that they had done this in school before. Anyway, I found a website to help my student with his overall phonic development. https://www.ixl.com/ela/grade-2

Fluency:

For this assessment, I used the reading Rockets finding fluency score. I had my student read a second grade level “L” story for one minute. I recorded the number of words read out of one hundred(100), then I calculated his Words per Minute (wpm) and Words Correct per Minute (wcpm) scores. He read 77 words out of 100 word in a minute, he self corrected on two (2) words and made one(1) error. This puts him at a 77 words per minute(wpm) and 76 words correct per minute (wcpm). Even though this student is on his way to achieving his benchmark goal of 90 words by the end of the school year, I found him a website to help him improve his fluency. https://www.starfall.com/h/ltr-classic/
